-It is the backbone to every project and has critical layers including:

-Overall project objective

-Collaboration with both customer and team

-Implementing tools for project (software/hardware/physical tools needed for producing end product)

In my opinion leadership is the most important piece to project leadership, especially because of the mention "it's the people, not the procedures or techniques"

-Leadership is a make or break aspect to a lot of companies, projects, partnerships, and so much more

-Leading by example and fostering a collaborative partnership allows for a work environment where people feel they belong and will not be scared to make mistakes

-Productivity will soar and timelines will be able to continue to be met when leaders value and reward work

-Proper leadership reduces burnout within the organization

-Connects to delegation (will touch on below)

Stress management is a crucial trait for project managers.

-No project is ever going to go to plan

-People are going to leave the company, investors may back out last second, equipment might break

-Being able to handle these curveballs and maintain a stoic and calm demeanor is imperative

-What you reflect wears off on others working on the project or within the company. The necessity to reflect calmness in chaos is at an all time high

Delegation is a huge piece to project management for a few reasons

-You will never be able to do everything yourself

-You will never be able to oversee every process

-Delegation is important but I feel that trust in your employees is just as important

-There is a fine line of giving too much or too little responsibility to individuals in a project

- That is why effective leadership and a collaborative environment is crucial

-Having project leaders who are not afraid to reach out to you as a project manager is important

-Also having influenced these individuals to have confidence in their work and feel comfortable will help to naturally create productive and positive results
